The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae
3.0
I highly enjoyed the relatable voice that is Issa Rae. Covering a wide span of topics, anyone can find something they relate to and enjoy her awkward, black point of view.
The order of events and chapter setup can be somewhat confusing and a timeline could have been a helpful guide for readers.
It was a fun, lighthearted read for what I’m assuming to be a teenage/YA audience. I would love to see another book from Issa as I’m sure her opinions and thoughts on subjects have since evolved. Another book tackling more of her adult life and the more navigable categories and trials that come with it would a great follow up. The Misadventures of GROWN Awkward Black girl if you will.
So while I did enjoy it for what it was, I was left with wanting more of her voice now.
